A method for levitation includes flowing a source gas through an orifice to produce a Venturi effect as the source gas exits an outlet, entraining a secondary gas comprising ambient air, creating a pressure decrease at a secondary inlet of the secondary gas, mixing the source gas and the secondary gas to form a tertiary gas mixture, with the tertiary gas mixture including the source gas and the secondary gas, and with the source gas and the secondary gas mixed in a flow conduit having a constricted section of decreasing diameter and increasing diameter, flowing the tertiary gas mixture through an outlet, creating a pressure increase at the outlet, and inducing levitation through creation of a pressure decrease at the secondary inlet of the secondary gas and a pressure increase at the outlet of the tertiary gas mixture.
